Third Trimester Of Pregnancy: What Not To Do
The entire world becomes a better place to live when a woman discovers that she is pregnant. Then comes the nine long months of waiting for their precious bundle of joy. Throughout these months the mother takes great care in what she eats and what she does in order to ensure a healthy happy baby.
Of course, this is also a time of great anxiety and worry especially if it is her first pregnancy. By the end of the second trimester most women put all this behind them and will be quite ready to hold the baby in their arms. So, naturally the last trimester seems to drag. The glow of the pregnancy seems to fade and your body feels bulky and huge. Your belly keeps on expanding as this is the time when intensive foetal growth occurs. And all expectant mothers would want to know what not to do in the third trimester of pregnancy.
The last trimester is said to be the most tiresome time of pregnancy. Some women face a revisit of morning sickness. The foetus moves lower in the belly causing many of her internal organs to rearrange to accommodate the foetus. Here, we discuss things to avoid in the 3rd trimester.
Saunas and steam baths: There are many women who enjoy a good sauna or steam bath and they definitely have their perks. But, these are things to avoid in the third trimester of pregnancy as it causes the internal body temperature to change.
Love making: If you are having a normal pregnancy and there is no risk of preterm labour, you can enjoy intimate sessions with your husband till you go into labour. But, if it is risky or if you feel exhausted, this falls under what not to do in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Heavy lifting: Lifting heavy objects that can cause a strain in your lower back is among what not to do in the third trimester. Second time mothers with toddlers should especially take care not to carry their children and to delegate that task to others.
Contact sports: Contact sports like football, basketball and soccer are among what not to do in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is highly probable that playing these sports might cause injury to the abdomen and the growing foetus.
Heavy
meals:
Heavy
meals
are
things
to
avoid
during
the
third
trimester
since
during
this
time
the
baby
is
very
low
in
your
belly
and
digestion
will
be
difficult.
It
is
recommende
that
you
take
small
meals
at
regular
intervals.
High
heels:
Women
look
sexy
and
appealing
in
high
heels.
But
this
is
something
to
avoid
during
the
third
trimester
as
these
can
cause
back
pain.
In
these
months,
comfortable
flat-heeled
shoes
are
to
be
preferred.
Adventure sports: Water skiing, scuba diving, surfing and other adventure sports are also among what not to do in the third trimester of pregnancy. Such sports can cause great negative impact on your pregnancy.
High
altitudes:
Flying
and
other
activities,
which
will
take
you
to
higher
altitudes,
are
among
what
not
to
do
in
the
third
trimester.
In
high
altitudes,
oxygen
is
scarce
and
breathing
becomes
difficult.
It
can
cause
the
foetus
to
asphyxiate.
Heavy
exercising:
Pregnant
women
are
advised
to
follow
a
regular
exercise
schedule
throughout
their
pregnancy.
But,
heavy
exercising
may
lead
to
exhaustion
and
this
is
among
what
not
to
do
in
the
third
trimester.
Heavy
household
chores:
During
the
last
trimester,
it
is
natural
to
feel
tired
all
the
time.
Doing
all
household
chores
yourself
is
among
things
to
avoid
during
the
third
trimester.
You
should
not
hesitate
to
ask
for
help
from
others.
